MBIM protocol dissector infinite loop in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.14 allows denial of service

AnalysisAI

Infinite loop in the MBIM protocol dissector of Wireshark 4.6.0-4.6.4 and 4.4.0-4.4.14 causes denial of service when processing specially crafted MBIM packets. A local user with normal privileges can trigger the infinite loop via user interaction (opening a malicious packet capture file), causing the application to hang and become unresponsive. No code execution or data access is possible; impact is strictly availability.

Technical ContextAI

The MBIM (Mobile Broadband Interface Model) protocol dissector in Wireshark is responsible for parsing MBIM packets in network traffic captures. An improper loop condition (CWE-835: Infinite Loop) in the dissector parsing logic fails to terminate correctly when processing certain packet structures. This vulnerability affects the packet analysis layer of Wireshark, a widely deployed network protocol analyzer used by security professionals, system administrators, and researchers to inspect packet captures. The issue is triggered during the packet dissection phase when a user opens a capture file containing the malicious MBIM packet.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to patched versions immediately: Wireshark 4.6.5 or later for the 4.6.x branch, or Wireshark 4.4.15 or later for the 4.4.x branch. These versions contain a fix to the MBIM dissector loop condition that eliminates the infinite loop. Users unable to upgrade immediately should apply these mitigations: (1) disable or remove the MBIM protocol dissector via Wireshark's dissector configuration if MBIM packet analysis is not required (trades full packet visibility for stability), (2) process untrusted .pcap files in an isolated or sandboxed environment separate from production systems (contains blast radius but adds operational complexity), (3) filter or pre-process MBIM traffic before opening in Wireshark using tcpdump or similar tools to strip MBIM packets (effective if MBIM is not the primary analysis target). Consult WNPA-SEC-2026-41 for platform-specific patch distribution and advisory details.
